SELF-IMPROVEMENT:

Why is it called Self-Improvement and not Self-Development?

Self-Development is necessary, however, Development means growth and not necessarily change, whereas, Improvement means a total change for the better, and that is the change that we are addressing with this program.

I. SELF-EXAMINATION:
This is the first stage at making a change in one’s life. To examine means to look closely or into as to determine what is the problem or what needs to be fixed. To explore this we must examine how we look at ourselves, not others, even if it is your spouse, brother, sister, or related persons. We must look at how we rate on the scale of strength where our endurance and will-power is concerned.

This examination is two-fold, thus:
It brings one face to face with who they really are to self – not what one represents to others who don’t know the real person.

Secondly, it exposes one to self with the hope that he/she will go and change the false image and bring out the true beauty of Who he/she really is by nature.
(A righteous and most powerful person). This examination begins when we are on the road of Self-Improvement or further advancement.

II. SELF-ANALYSIS:
This is the second stage of our journey to change our lives, for the betterment of ourselves, our families, and our communities, and ultimately our nation. Analysis means the separating or breaking up of any whole into its parts so as to find out their nature, proportion, function and relationship.
